dismissed L-1A Case: Coffee Trade
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary would be employed in a primarily managerial or executive capacity. The director's denial noted that the proposed duties and organizational structure did not sufficiently support the claim, and the AAO upheld this conclusion despite the petitioner's argument that the director applied an erroneous standard.
